Tampons as a source of exposure to metal(loid)s.

Background: Between 52-86% of people who menstruate in the United States use tampons-cotton and/or rayon/viscose 'plugs'-to absorb menstrual blood in the vagina. Tampons may contain metals from agricultural or manufacturing processes, which could be absorbed by the vagina's highly absorptive tissue, resulting in systemic exposure. To our knowledge, no previous studies have measured metals in tampons.

Article Synopsis
- Textile waste is a mix of natural and synthetic fibers, leading to environmental pollution through microplastics and air pollution when incinerated.
- The study explores using edible fungi for bioremediation of textile waste, showing that three types of fungi can grow on a blend of cotton, bamboo viscose, and elastane while metabolizing the dye Reactive Black 5.
- Results indicate the potential of using these fungi for biotechnological applications, although no mushrooms were produced, indicating more research is needed to optimize conditions for cultivating fungi on waste textiles.

Growing pollution is making it necessary to find new strategies and materials for the removal of undesired compounds from the environment. Adsorption is still one of the simplest and most efficient routes for the remediation of air, soil, and water. However, the choice of adsorbent for a given application ultimately depends on its performance assessment results.

The search for alternative methods for the production of new materials or fuel from renewable and sustainable biomass feedstocks has gained increasing attention. In this study, (nipa palm) fronds from agricultural residues were evaluated to produce pure cellulose by combining prehydrolysis for 1-3 h at 150 °C, sulfur-free soda cooking for 1-1.5 h at 160 °C with 13-25% active alkali (AA), 0.
